Earlier this month Nissan dropped the price of its Pulsar sedan range by $1000. The base model ST fell to $18,990, the middle-of-the-range ST-L to $19,990 and the range-topping Q model to $22,990 -- all prices need to have on-road costs added.

So far this year, the Pulsar sedan has outsold Toyota's Corolla sedan by a slim margin but when it comes to hatches it's a different story. Toyota has sold 13,980 Corolla hatches this year compared with just 1008 for Pulsar.

Yet Nissan has not reduced the price of its Pulsar hatch and Toyota has increased the price of the Corolla Ascent sedan by $500 to $20,490.
